The straight-grip walnut stock carries the correct Parker-Hale cartouche on the right side and is fitted with traditional brass furniture and a steel ramrod. The action has a nicely case-colored hammer and lock.
Condition is very good overall with strong metal finishes and typical handling marks/marring to the wood.
